Sensitive Planes compares and contrasts work by two generations of Spanish artists who rethought concepts such as reality, representation and abstraction and challenged the great traditions of painting and sculpture.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the suffering and existential void in post–Civil War Spain led artists to express not only the tragedy of wounded humanity but also the possibility of creating new forms for a new world.

In the 1980s, several painters took up the research that Informalist artists like Antoni Tàpies and Antonio Saura had carried out on the picture plane, although their work differed from their predecessors' in that it showed a keen awareness of crisis in the ideas of modernity and the avant-garde.

This show includes 28 pieces by artists such as Antoni Tàpies, Antonio Saura, Pablo Palazuelo, Manuel Millares, Miquel Barceló, Eduardo Chillida and José Manuel Broto.
